"Speaking of Asia — BlackBerry's plans for a China launch are still unclear. We asked about specifics at the launch event last week but were not given a clear answer on carrier or release dates. BlackBerry has not responded to our requests for more information on its Asia strategy moving forward."

Hi, what do you mean?
I think they don't even know what is the message in this case.

You have to under how the new BBRY (aka RIM) works. They have been releasing their devices to countries who carry the most volume first and slowly releasing them in countries that sell very few. I would recommend if you really want one buy one from Ebay or somewhere as I know one the reasons why BBRY doesn't even have their devices made in China is because they would end up like iSheep devices (aka Apple), people in China would be opening up knock off stores trying to selling fake BlackBerry devices.
